Nested lists

[terrakuh]

Hi there @rodrigodagostino,

It's me again :)

I need to create a sortable list nested inside another one and wanted to get your opinion. I guess the easiest solution would be pass an optional identifier to each sortable component that differentiates between what context value should be used. For example the store functions would return a map (where the passed identifier is used as a key) instead of a single value. What do you think about that? I could implement a prototype and submit a PR.

Do you have a specific reason as to why you split everything into a separate store instead of one big one?

Cheers

Hey, @terrakuh! :)

Thank you very much for the effort you’ve been putting into this. It honestly means a lot to me. I’m kind of learning as I move forward with this library, and having a helping hand is always nice to have. I got pretty excited to see what you achieved, especially after I found out that you didn’t even need to add a new component into the mix to get the multi-list working :)

I really didn’t mean to ignore you, I was trying to finish with the last few changes I wanted for this package before launching v1 and v2 (which will hopefully happen soon), just so I could properly focus on this new feature (which I am quite eager for).

I’d love to have a back-and-forth with you. We could even jump on a quick call if you’re up for it :)

Hi there!

Thank you for the kind words and no worries. I'd love to help you out where I can. Thank you for your effort you are putting into this library. It is really awesome! :)

I love the idea with the call. Since we live quite far away, I guess maybe 5 PM your time or some other time during the weekend?

Absolutely, @terrakuh!

I just came over from your reddit post, tried out the demo (loved it!!), then instantly came here to try and get nested lists.

If possible, I would love to have nested lists with the containers available for dragging around as well as the items in each list be draggable to any other list as well.

If this becomes available I will use this library asap as I have a big need for it.

Hey, @HunterLiddell! Thanks for joining the conversation :)

A while ago, I tried implementing nested lists, but once I realized it would require much more effort than I though, I decided to drop it in favor of a few more essential features. That is just to say that I’ve attempted it before, so now I have a clearer picture of how I would want it to work, and dragging lists as well as items is exactly what I had in mind.

You can keep an eye on this issue, I will be posting here as soon as I have any updates to share ;)

Hey, @terrakuh! I‘m very sorry I kept you in the dark, but I have some good news :)

I found a proper solution to the problem we discussed about the cloned item, which has already been shipped. And you might have seen that v1.0.0 has finally been published. FINALLY! 🥳

So now I’m currently working on migrating the package to Svelte 5, which has been more successful than I expected. I only have a few issues I still have to find solutions for. So right after v2.0.0 is published (v1.0.0 -> Svelte 4 — v2.0.0 Svelte 5), I’ll finally be focusing on nested lists :)

Hey, @rodrigodagostino

Let me know if there's anything I can help with on the migration. I've gone through 3 of them from svelte 4 to 5 and have used svelte 5 since it dropped as beta awhile back.

I have a strong need for the nested lists in the very near future and this is the only library that has solved other pain points for me in the past. One being the auto scroller!

Hey @rodrigodagostino
Don't worry, I knew you've been cooking 😄 Congrats on v1 🥳 I can't wait to check it out once I'm back. Let me know if you need help with anything

Hey @rodrigodagostino
Checking in about this nested list feature now that Svelte 5 is released. I see there's a PR out from June, but I believe that's stale at this point.

Hey, @HunterLiddell :)

This was a really interesting attempt that Yunus worked on, but it was not fully working and by now it needs quite an update to include all the changes that happened after it was started. I’m not sure if we will be able to use it, but at least it will serve as a point of reference :)
